One Twitter user said: "I can’t send anyone messages or post anything, and it tells me i’ve got a message but nothing shows up".

Another said: "Some people are experiencing some troubles with the app... stories and friends and memories are not loading".

And a third wrote: "My messages are coming through but can’t open them can send messages can’t see replies".
